_Bergamotte Suisse._ =2.= Hogg _Fruit Man._ 505. 1884. A variegated form of the French Bergamotte d'Automne. Merlet, who described it in 1675 in his _Abrégé des bons fruits_, named it _Bergamote Suisse_, indicating thereby the country of its origin. Fruit medium, roundish and flattened, somewhat inclining to turbinate, regular, and having the summit always a little mammillate, color olive-yellow, occasionally slightly tinged with dull red, spotted all over with large, fawn dots, and beautifully striped longitudinally with large bands of brownish-green passing into bright green on the side shaded from the sun; flesh white, melting and buttery, sugary, acidulous; first; Oct. and Nov. =Bergamote Balicq. 1.= Mathieu _Nom. Pom._ 174. 1889. _Bergamotte Ballicq._ =2.= _Guide Prat._ 85, 223. 1895. Belgian. Fruit medium; flesh white, fine, semi-melting, juicy, saccharine; first; Dec. and Jan. =Bergamote Boussière. 1.= Leroy _Dict. Pom._ =1=:227, fig. 1867. Raised by Van Mons and fruited for the first time in 1844. Fruit above medium, obovate-obtuse-pyriform, regular, greenish-yellow, dotted and veined with fawn and clouded with reddish-brown around the stem; flesh whitish, half-fine, melting, very gritty around the core; juice abundant, vinous, sugary and slightly aromatic; second; Oct. to Dec. =Bergamote Hamdens. 1.= Langley _Pomona_ 131, Pl. 65, fig. 3. 1729.

Of interest on account of the curious variegation of its fruit and wood. The fruit differs from that of the Bergamotte d'Holland in the variegated green brown of its skin; flesh deficient in juice and wanting in delicacy and leaves an unpleasant taste behind; second for cooking; Dec. to April. =Bergamote Philippot. 1.= Baltet _Cult. Fr._ 370. 1908. Described by Baltet as, "A beautiful fruit, grey and bronzed; good for stewing." =Bergamote Rose. 1.= Leroy _Dict. Pom._ =1=:256, fig. 1867. This curious variety was raised by A. Bivort from seed beds in the garden of the Society Van Mons and first bore fruit in 1848. It is endowed with so pronounced a scent of rose that the producer hoped from it and another variety called Parfum de Rose it might be possible to create a new class of pears. Fruit small, oblate, bronze, strewed with grayish-white dots, some brownish stains, scaly; flesh white stained with carmine, scented, rather coarse, breaking, seldom gritty; juice sufficient, saccharine, having an odor and flavor similar to that of roses; third; Jan. and Feb. =Bergamotte d'Anvers. 1.= _Guide Prat._ 85. 1895.
